Tree,
I got flamed a couple of years ago by putting out many many spots without
including section information. The flames came from a few stns who were
using the spots to find sweeps.
If I go assisted (still undecided), I will continue to put out spots without
sections for two reasons: 1.) I don't want the bother of having to enter
section info into the spot, and 2.) I don't believe that the section info
should be included in the spot info; the section should be learned during the
exchange.
